About DANCE FILM SF INC

Founded in 2010, the organization operates a public festival, the Co-Lab commissioning/production program, workshops, and a Touring Reel program for educational and institutional screenings. In the last several years DFSF has continued annual festival programming (including a robust 2024–2026 series of screenings and special events), sustained its Co-Lab commissions, and expanded distribution through touring packages and online streaming opportunities.
